It tastes like sought-after turtle soup but there is no trace of shelled critters in the bowl: Chilean plant-based food firm NotCo recreated this famous dish using artificial intelligence and in doing so hopes to help raise awareness about the endangered reptile. "We wanted to generate an impact through artificial intelligence," said Bernardo Moltedo, NotCo's AI culinary science leader. NotCo's AI analyzed 300,000 plants and made 260 quintillion combinations until it found a mix of five proteins that most closely resembled turtle meat.
